Hi:

I have a cousin whose computer last night hung up on Shutdown and the only
way that he could resolve it was to turn off the power.

This morning when he booted up and opened Outlook Express 6 his entire
Address book had been deleted. I thought maybe somehow he had switched
Identities, but that was not the case.

The bad thing is he had not backed up his Address book.

Does anyone have any idea as to what could have caused his Address book
to be entirely deleted?

Thanks

Do an *Advanced* search for *.wab and include Hidden Files and Folders.

Hi:

I have done both of your suggestions, but still no address book.

Thanks
